And by the way, they're sending you a private note.

They're not just like a like emoji on that post.
voice-verified
They're texting you directly or they're sending you an email, something that sticks in your mind so that when they do have to come knocking on your door because they could use an introduction, you're much more likely to actually lend a hand.

It's just hard to free yourself of distractions during standard business hours.

Nobody else is up to bother them.

I mean, look, we have to get together and meet with coworkers sometimes, but worker after worker tells me it can be hard to get in the flow of working on a task for an extended period of time.

There's two pieces to that.
voice-verified
One is that you can look really productive if you're the one who's sending those pre-dawn emails, depending on your office culture.
voice-verified
Some places discourage sending stuff outside of standard business hours, but you can look like a real go-getter if you're up before dawn.
voice-verified
And then the other part, too, is that you're not getting as many of those inbound Slack messages and emails to distract you and pull you off task.
voice-verified
The people who have tried this for a while say it really gives them a sense of momentum into the regular part of their workday.
voice-verified
They've accomplished so much early on that it really sets the tone for the rest of their day.
voice-verified
I sort of likened it to my experience rowing, JR, where if you get off to a really fast start, you can glide a little bit in the boat.
voice-verified
You get that sense of momentum in rowing and in the workday, as it turns out.
